Can My Dog Drink Coffee?

No! All forms of caffeine are highly toxic to dogs as it can dangerously increase their heart rate. Depending on your dog’s size, a small amount of coffee probably won’t harm it, but more than that could be life-threatening.

Symptoms of caffeine poisoning dogs include:

Hyperactivity

Restlessness

Vomiting

Elevated heart rate

Elevated blood pressure

Abnormal heart rhythms

Tremors

Elevated body temperature

Seizures

Collapse

Death

Contact your vet immediately if your dog shows any of these signs of caffeine poisoning.
